Philippians 1
1 [I], Paul, and Timothy, [who is with me, are] men who serve Christ Jesus. I [am writing this letter] to all [of you who are] pastors and deacons in Philippi [city] and to the rest of God’s people [there who have a close relationship] with Christ Jesus.
Bulus nan Timoti arere Ugomo Asere Yeso, uhana ande sa a inko we anyimo Ugomo-Asere Yeso sa wa raa u Filibi, nigo nan ana katuma kadenge me.
2 [We both] (OR, [I]) [pray that] God, [who is] our Father, and Jesus Christ, [who is our] Lord, [will continue to] be kind to you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.
Caa uronta Ugomo -Asere ucukuno nigo nan haru.
3 I thank my God whenever I think about you.
In wuza iriba irom vat uganiya sa ma ringin shi.
4 Every time [DOU] I pray [for you], I joyfully pray [DOU] for all of you.
Ko ya uganiya sa in zin biringira barki shime, in wuza anyimo iriba irom ini. In wuza iriba irom vat uganiya sa ma ringin shi.
5 I [thank God and rejoice] because you have been [working] together with me in order to [make known] the good message about Christ. [You started doing that] when you first [MTY] [believed it, and you have continued doing it] until now.
Ko ya uganiya sa in zin biringira barki shime, in wuza anyimo iriba irom ini. In zin in iriba irom bariki upatti acce sa izin unu bezizi utize ta sere datti anu wui utuba uhana kani me.
6 I am completely confident that [God], who has begun to do in you what is good, (OR, that since [God] has begun to do in you what is good, he) will continue to do that until he finishes doing it on the day Christ Jesus [MTY] [returns].
Ma hem in na ginome, mede sa matuma ka re-re anyimo ashime madi ree aje ma biki umaska me uhana rono sa Yeso Ugomo-Asere madi ē.
7 During this time that I have been a prisoner [MTY] and during the times I was previously able to defend the good message about Christ and proved/confirmed [to others] that it is true, all of you have been sharing with me (OR, have helped me) in this work [that God] kindly gave [to me to do. So] indeed it is right that I feel joyful about you all, because you are very dear [IDM] to me.
Irezi anime ikunna vat ushime barki iraa iriba lin vat ushi ana tanu tum tini anyimo uronta Asere ahira utirza um nan nu karti uboo utize ta sere, wanu tonno atize ta sere me.
8 God [can] verify that Christ Jesus causes me to [love and] long for all of you very much, [just like] Christ loves [you].
Barki Asere marusan in na ginome, unu guna in nyara shi kang anyimo iriba lim unu hem Ugomo-Asere Yeso.
9 And what I pray [for you] is that [God will enable] you to truly know and learn how to love [one another] more and more in every situation.
In zin in biringira bigeme, uhem ushi me ucukuno ure aje urusa nan tanu ti rusa abanga.
10 [And I pray that he will enable] you to completely understand [how you should believe and act]. I [pray this] in order that you might be [spiritually] pure and faultless (OR, completely faultless [DOU]) on the day that Christ [returns] [MTY],
Inzin in biringara bigino barki i batti tiron-roga tire-re, in zin in biringara barki i cukuno anu be sa kunnan in we azo me ande adi jori a rono Ugomo-Asere.
11 [and in order that] you might conduct your lives [IDM] completely righteously as a result of Jesus Christ [enabling you to do so], in order that [people will] honor God and praise him (OR, [people will] praise God very much [DOU]).
Agino me barki agminca shi anyimo ahana wa re-re sa akemzu we ahira Ugomo-Asere Yeso, uhana uni nonzo na Asere.
12 My fellow believers, I want you to know that the [troubles] I have experienced [have not prevented me from proclaiming the good message to people. Instead], [these things that I have experienced] have enabled even more people to hear the good message [about Christ].
Ana me inyara iruzi, ni henu, unu guna imum besa ya kem ya cukuno unaa wa re aje atize ta sere kang.
13 [Specifically], all the military guards who are stationed [here in Rome] and many other [HYP] [people in this city] [HYP] now know that I am a prisoner [MTY] because I [proclaim the good news] about Christ.
Anyo anime, inyang line anyimo Ugomo-Asere ya cukuno imumu i rusa ahira masoja mani kobbo nan anabu vat.
14 Also, most of the believers [here now] proclaim the message from God more courageously and fearlessly [because] they trust the Lord [more firmly to help them. They trust the Lord more] because [they have seen how the Lord has helped me] while I have been a prisoner [MTY] [here].
Ya cukuno maroo manihenu anyimo Ugomo-Asere wa tonno kangang barki inyang imme, wa suro amasaa wa bezizi tize ta sere in iriba i inde.
15 Some people proclaim [the message about Christ as I do] because they are happy [with my work]. They proclaim [the message about] Christ because they love [me and because] they know that [God] has placed me [here] to defend the message about Christ [CHI].
Ine ini aye ashime wazin in tize ta Asere anyimo ani eru nan nugursuna ahira, aye barki katuma kare-re.
Ana tize ti ugomo-Asere barki uhem wa rusa uguna ana a inkom barki in tonno atize ta Asere tini.
17 Others proclaim [the message about] Christ because they envy [me] and oppose [me]. They proclaim the message about Christ because they have wrong motives. They [wrongly] assume [that because they are causing many people to follow them, I will be jealous, and as a result], I will feel more miserable while I am a prisoner [MTY] [here].
Abanna me aye wazin in tize ti ugomo -Asere barki u suu uni ue nan nu zatu kadura. Wanno wa bassa wazinu zito in mi anyimo inyang im.
18 But it does not matter whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have wrong motives, or whether [people proclaim the message about Christ] because they have right motives. The important thing in either case is that [the message about] Christ is being proclaimed {people are proclaiming [the message about] Christ}. And because of that I rejoice! Philippians 1:18b-26 Furthermore, I will continue to rejoice,
Ine ini nyani? Ako uya unaa, nyani unu rusa, nyani in kadura, tize ti ugomo-Asere tini tizinu wuza me, in zin iniruba irom in na gino me: Ee, indi wuu iraba irom.
19 because when I experience troubles, I know that some day God will say that he approves [of what I have done] (OR, that [the Roman authorities] will set me free). [This will happen] as a result of your praying for me, and [as a result] of [God’s] Spirit, whom Jesus Christ gave me, helping me.
Barki in rusa igion me idi hammi unaa u suburka. Agino acukuno anime usuro abi ringara bi shi me, wannu benki ubibe bi yeso ugonon-Asere.
20 I [know that this will happen] because I very confidently expect [DOU] that I will faithfully honor Christ. I expect that like I always [have done], Christ will be greatly honored {I will continue now also to very boldly honor Christ} by means of all that I do [SYN, MTY], whether by [the way I] live or [by the way I] die.
Azezsere imum nan nu inko iriba in bassa nan inko iriba inda kunna mu eh ba. Anyo anime, vat in iriba ihūu gusi kodi umaya, nan ana me in zinu inso iriba u ayen in ninonzo ni ugomo-Asere anyimo anipum num.
21 As for me, I live [in order to honor] Christ. But if I die, it will be better [for me than if I continue to live, because then I will be with him].
In be ugomo-Asere ma kem ninonzo anyimo anipum num nyani anyimo aticukum, nyani anyimo iwono. Barki ahira am ivai I ugomo-Asere ini, Iwono Imum I uhana aje ini.
22 On the other hand, if I continue to live, that will enable me to continue to serve [Christ] effectively. As a result, I do not know which to choose.
Abanna me vat ini ihungo uzina ume.
23 That is, I am not sure which of those two I [prefer]. I long to leave [this world] and [go to] be with Christ, because that will be very much better [for me].
In inso iriba uguna in ceki abann ame in cukuno nan ugomo-Asere, igino Itekum inu iraa!
24 Nevertheless, it is more important that I remain alive [than that I go to be with Christ because] you still need [me to help you].
Vat ina agino ti cukum tum anyimo anipum izi gbas ini barki shime.
25 Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain [alive] and that I will [go/come to] be with you all. [As a result], you will believe [in Christ] more firmly, and [as a result of that], you will rejoice.
Barki in sa rusa inna ginome mā kuri marusa indi vengize, in re aje in ti cukum nan shi barki are aje ashi me, nan aburu irom ashi me, anyimo akadura.
26 [That is], you will be able to rejoice very greatly because of Christ Jesus [bringing] me [to be with you again].
Anyo anime, utira ubigiri bi shi me anyimo ugomo-Asere yeso udi re aje barki uze um ahira ashi me.
27 Most importantly, as fellow [believers in Christ], conduct yourselves just like [you learned you should do when you heard] the message about Christ. Do that in order that whether I come and see you, or whether [I am away from you and] people tell me about you, [what I hear or see will make me happy]. They will tell me that you are unitedly and cooperatively resisting [those who oppose the message about Christ] (OR, [oppose you]). I [will know] that you are not allowing others to influence you to believe a message that is different from the gospel [about Christ].
Hakanin ini mum be iwuza gasi imum be sa ugomo-Asere yeso ma nyara, wuzan ni ani me barki in ma aye in iri shi, anyimo Ibibe bire-re bi inde. In kuri nyara in kunna nun gura itira apum nigo me barki uhem ukadura ka gino katize ta Asere.
28 And I [will know] that you are not at all frightened by {afraid of} the people who oppose you. This will show/prove to those people that [God] will destroy them, but this will show/prove to you that [God] will save you eternally. It is God who is doing [all] this.
Kati ikunna biyyau bi ire imu ahira ande. Wazi anu ishina ishi me wazi nu wuzame ire imum ini sa idi huze uce.
29 Remember that he has not only kindly enabled you to believe in Christ, [he] has also kindly allowed you to suffer for the sake of Christ.
Abanna shi me ire imum ini ibura ushi me, aginome usuro ahira Asere ani.
30 [As a result], you are [having to] resist [those who oppose the good message], just like you saw that I [had to] resist [such people there in Philippi], and just like you hear that I [still have to resist such people here] now.
Ayenne awuza shi imum ire-re barki ugomo-Asere, azo uguna uhem unu ugomo-Asere uzi cas ba, wanu saa uzito barki meme.
